To win an Oscar is an achievement at any age.To do so at 22,as Jennifer
Lawrence has,is just amazing.Recently,the American star won Best Actress at this
year ’ s Academy Awards for her role in the film The Silver Linings
Playbook.According to Time magazine’s Richard Corliss,Lawrence is that rare
young actres s who“lends a mature intelligence to any ro1e”.Though Lawrence has found great success through
her big screen work,Lawrence wasn't sure what she really liked doing before the ageof l4.She thought she’d go
to college and may be find a career as a doctor or a travel agent.
Lawrence’s two brothers were star athletes and one of them was a straight-A student.Unlike them,she
suffered through school,never quite finding where she belonged.However,during a trip to New York,Lawrence
suddenly realized that she wanted to be an actress.When she was enjoying the beautiful city,a model seeker
asked if he could take her picture,and the next day he called her in for an audition(试镜).
“ I read the script( 剧 本 )and it was the first time I had that feeling like I understand this ,” Lawrence
said.“Within 20 minutes,in the cab ride from the hotel room,I decided I didn’t want to be a model.In fact,
I wanted to be an actress.”Having appreciated this young lady’s performance,the agency was so impressed with
her reading that they signed her on the spot.But she insisted on finishing high school so she could give her full
attention to her acting career.
Lawrence burst onto the Hollywood scene last year with The Hunger Games,which established her as the

CHICAGO(Reuters)-Smoking not only can wrinkle(皱纹)the face and turn it yellow—it can do the same to
the whole body,researchers reported on Monday.
The study,published in the Archives of Dermatology,shows that smoking affects the skin all over the
body-even skin protected from the sun.
“We examined non-facial skin that was protected from the sun,and found that the total number of packs,
of cigarette smoked per day and the total years a person has smoked were linked with the amount of skin damage
a person experienced,”Dr.Yolanda,who led the study,said in a statement.
“ In participants older than 65 years , smokers had significantly more fine wrinkling than
nonsmokers.Similar fmdings were seen in participants aged 45 to 65 years.” Yolanda’s team added in their
report.
The researchers tested 82 people,smokers and nonsmokers,taking pictures of the inner right arms.They
ranged,in age from 22 to 91 and half were smokers.In dependent judges decided how wrinkled each person’s
skin was.
When skin is exposed to sunlight,especially the face,it becomes coarse(粗糙的).Wrinkled and discolored
with a pale yellow tint,Yolanda's team wrote.
Several previous studies have found that cigarette smoking led to premature(过早的)skin aging asmeasured
by facial wrinkles,the study said,but little has been done to measure the aging of skin not exposed to light.
The report did not discuss die mechanism involved but previous research has found that cigarette smoke,
among other things,causes blood vessels(血管)beneath the skin to constrict(紧缩),reducing blood supply to the
skin.
Smoking can also damage the connective tissue(组织)that supports both die skin and the internal organs.
65. The best title for this passage would be ______________.
A. The danger of smoking B.Smoking causes skin aging
C.Quit smoking for health D.A survey of smokers
66.It can be inferred from the study _____________.
A.smoking won’t affect skin protected from the sun
B.smoking will do damage to skin rather than other organs
C.smokers over 65 usually won’t worry about their skin
D.the age of smokers is not connected,with the result of the test
67. When your skin is exposed to sunlight long,it becomes all of the following but _________.
A.flexible B.coarse C.rough D.discolored
68. According to the passage,how wrinkled a person’s skin is doesn’t relate to ___________.
A.the number of cigarettes a person smokes
B.the kind and characteristics of skin
C.how long a person smokes
D.how long skin is under sunlight
69.From the passage smoking results in skin aging mainly because ____________.
A.it will lower blood supply to skin B.it can make you feel tired
C.it can make skin come off D. it can make blood run faster
70.The main purpose of the passage is to ____________.
A.inform people about the study of skin.
B.advise people how to protect skin
C. warn people not to smoke again
D.introduce a new way of avoid skin aging

The day my husband fell to his death,it started to snow,just like any November day.His body,when I found
it,was lightly covered with snow.It snowed almost every day for the next four months,while I sat on the couch
and watched it pile up.One morning,I shuffled downstairs and was surprised to see a snow remover clearing my
driveway and the bent back of a woman shoveling(铲)my walk.I dropped to my knees,crawled through the living
room.And back up stairs so those good people would not see me.I was embarrassed.My first thought was,how
would I ever repay them? I didn’t have the strength to brush my hair let alone shovel someone’s walk.
Before John’s death,I took pride in the fact that I rarely asked for help or favors,I defined myself by my
competence and independence.So who was I if I was no longer capable and busy? How could I respect myself if
all I did was sit on the couch every day and watch the snowfall?
Learning how to receive the love and support that came my way wasn't easy.Friends cooked forme and l
cried because I couldn't even help them set the table.“I'm not usually this lazy,”I wept.Finally,my friend Kathy
sat down with me and said,"Mary,cooking for you is not a burden. I love you and I want to do it.It makes me feel
good to be able to do something for you.”
Over and over,I heard similar emotions from the people who supported me during those dark days.One very
wise man told me,“You are not doing nothing.Being fully open to your sorrow may be the hardest work you will
everdo.”
I am not the person I once was,but in many ways I have changed for the better.My heart is now filled with
thanks for people around me.I have been surprised to learn that there is incredible freedom that comes from
facing one’s worst fear and walking away whole.I believe there is strength,for sure,in accepting a dark period
of our life.
71.Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A.The writer’s friend was unwilling to cook for her.w W w .
B.The writer had been busy with her life before.
C.The writer recovered from her sorrow quickly with his friend‘s help.
D.The day her husband died,it was snowing heavily.
72.We can describe the writer before her husband died as the following except ___________.
A.hard-working B.independent C.smart D. capable
73.The underlined word“shuffled”in Para graph 1 probably means ___________.
A.stepped steadily B. walked slowly
C.ran swiftly D.fell sadly
74.We can infer from the passage that ____________.
A. the writer found her husband immediately he fell off the roof
B.the writer became strong-willed immediately after John's death
C.the people around the writer were friendly and supported her
D.before John’s death,the writer never asked others for help
75.The writer wrote the passage to ___________.

B.express her guilty conscience to the people who helped her
C.show her thanks to the people who love and support her
D.tell us the changes she has made because of her husband’s death

Right in front of the Minneapolis Central Library,a row of green bikes sits parked in a special stand.Each
bike is designed with the logo“Nice Ride”—the name of the city’s bike-share program.
Nice Ride bikes are a lot like the library books that people come here to borrow.To rent a bike,you simply
use your membership card at a Nice Ride bike station.Members can rent one of 1,200 bikes from 138 stations
throughout Minnesota's largest city.People use the Nice Ride bikes to go to work,to go out on business,or just
to enjoy the city’s many bike paths.
The rise of bike-share programs like Nice Ride is encouraging more people than ever to choose biking over
driving.Rising gas prices and concerns about the environment have also gotten people to dust off their bike
helmets, pump air into flat tires,and hit the road.
Why ride? Not only is biking good exercise,but switching from a car to a bike also r educes the amount of
pollution in the air.Carbon dioxide,a greenhouse gas linked to climate change,is one of the many polluting
substances that come out of a car's tallpipe.
Bike-share systems are found around the world in cities like London,Paris,Barcelona,and Melbourne,
Australia.The largest program-with 70,000 bikes-is in Wuhan,China.
To make roads friendlier to non-motorists,the U.S.Department of Transportation has invested more than
a billion dollars in cycling and pedestrian projects in recent years.The money went toward building thousands of
miles of on-street bike lanes and bike-and pedestrian-only passages called green ways.
76.If one wants to use the bike,it's a must to __________.
A.give away a bicycle B.know Nice Ride well
C.pay the cost in advance D.get a membership card
77. Which of the following can people do with the bikes?
A.Earn a living. B.Enjoy bikeways.
C.Compete in a race. D.Rent them out to others.
78.Paragraph 4 is mainly about _____________.[来源:Z#xx#k.Com]
A.benefits of biking B. pollution caused by cars
C.methods to use the bikes D.ways to reduce pollution
79.Which of the following is true of Nice Ride?
A.It will take the place of taxi companies.
B.China has better public bike systems.
C.It attracts more people to choose biking.
D.The government lacks money to support it.
80.The author's purpose in writing this text is to ______________.
A.spread bike-share programs B.seek advice for Nice Ride [来源:学|科|网 Z|X|X|K]
C.compare Nice Ride with libraries D.introduce the public bike system

[1]Teenage depression isn't just bad moods and occasional sadness.Depression is a serious problem that impacts
on every aspect of a teen’s life.Left untreated,teen depression can lead to problems at home and school,drug
abuse,self-loathing…even irreversible(不能挽救的)tragedy such as homicidal violence or suicide.
[2]Fortunately,teena ge depression ______________ and as a concerned parent,teacher,or friend,there are
many things you can do to help.You can start by learning the symptoms of depression and expressing concern
when you spot warning signs.Talking about the p roblem and offering support can go a lon g way toward getting
your teenager back on track.X|k | B| 1 . c |O |m
[3]There are as many misconceptions about teen depression as there are about teenagers in general. Yes,the teen
years are tough,but most teens balance the troubles with good friendships,success in school or outside activities,
and the development of a strong sense of self .Occasional bad mood or acting out is t o be expected , but
depression is something different.Depression can destroy the very essence of a teenager’s personality, causing
an overwhelming sense of sadness,despair,or anger.
[4]If you’re unsure whether all adolescent in your life is depressed or just”being a teenager”,consider how long
the symptoms have been present,how severe they are,and how different the teen is acting from his or her usual
self.While some“growing pains”are to be expected as teenagers fight with the challenges of growing up,
dramatic,long lasting changes in personality, mood,or behavior are red flags of a deeper problem.
[5]If you suspect that a teenager in your life is suffering from depression,take action fight away. Depression is
very damaging when left untreated,so don’t wait and hope that the symptoms will go away.Even if you’re
unsure that depression is the issue,the troublesome behaviors and emotions you’re seeing in your teenager are
signs of a problem.Whether or n ot that problem turns out to be depression,it still needs to be addressed —the
sooner the better.

Dear Sir or Madam,
I am Li Hua. I am a student in Class 1, Grade 3. I have read the notice that our school radio station needs two
English announcers, so I’m writing to introduce myself.
First of all, I am greatly interested in broadcasting. I have received some professional training in my spare
time, hoping that I can work as an announcer in the future. Now I would like to put what I have learned into
practice and gain some experience. Besides, I am good at English, especially spoken English. I won first prize in
the English Speech Competition last year. So I think I am highly qualified for the job. If I am admitted, I will try
my best to serve the students. I sincerely hope that you can give me a chance to work for the school radio station.
I am looking forward to your early reply.
Yours,
Li Hua
